Some Uses Of an Egg.

For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white OF an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish than
collodion, and being always at hand,
can be applied. 1t is also more cool
ing than thes oil and cotton which
was formerly supposed to be the sur
est application to allay the smartjng
pain.
The egg is considered to be one ofthe
best of remedies for dysentery. Beat
en- up slightly, with or without sugar,
and swallowed at q gulp, it tends, by
it's emolient qualities, to lessen the in
nammation Of the stomach and intes-
tines, and by forming a transient coat
ing on these organs, to enable nature
to resume her healthful sway over
diseased body. Two, or at most three
eggs per day would be all that is re-
quired in ordinary cases; and since
egg is not merely medicine, but food
as we'll, the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept, the
more certain and rapid is the recov.

A Walk with a Tiger.
From the London Court Journal.

From the London Court journal.
Only a few months ago, in India, in
81 certain planting district there was q
notorious maneater. Two gentlemen,
A and B residing together on an
estate, had lost, besides other en-
ployees. two chowkebars, or native
watchmen, within a few days, and the
unfortunate men had been actually
carried off out of the veranda OF the
bungalow. A and B therefore deter
mined to clothe themselves like na.
tives, and sit during the night, armed,
in the veranda, in the hopes they
might be able to get q shot at the
man-eater, who, they thought, might
probably return to the spot which
had already provided him with two
victims: They proceeded to carry
out this intention, and sat up till
about 2 or ) o'clock a. m., but moth.
ing appeared. A retired, and after en-
terlng his room had just closed the
window, and was gazing out for an in
stant, when he saw a dark mass land
in the veranda, right on his friend,
then heard sounds Of scuff1e, and a
cry for help. Seizing his rifle, to
which a sword bayonet was attached,
and finging up the window, he rushed
out, in time to see B walking down
the steps that lead up to the veranda
alongside of the tiger, with his hand
in the latter's mouth. A was afraid
to fire lest he should hit his friend, so,
running after him, he, with admirable
presence of mind, went up to the tiger,
and, plunging his bayonet into the
animals body, at the same instant
fired. There was a roar and g. scufHe,
and B took advantage of the moment
to release his hand, and the tiger,
after3tumbling, died. BIS hand was
terribly mauled. -

Did Not Better Himself.

Mr.. Stephen Powers, who has cross.
ed the continent four times, once in a
weary journey OF six months, remarks
in "The Ohio Farmer" that "the Unit
ed States Government has extremely
little land left, except such as the poor.
est Eastern agriculturist would hardly
accept as gift" }" and cites an item of
experience showing that conditions OF
life are not always bettered by change
of base: ~. T..
"a young man, a relative of mine,
had by great industry and economy
saved up a few thousand dollars, and
he went to California to try ranchlng.
He bought and sold here and there,
sampling the soil until he found a
tract in Fresno county. which filled
the bill' in every particular-water al
ways excepted fertile, cheap, not ma
larious, in good neighborhood. But
there was no way for it but to sink
an artesian well, and he set about it
with characteristic vigor. Hundreds
Of dollars he poured down that shaft,
and when at length he reached the
costly liquid, it was alkaline and use
less. He was ruined man, and was
obliged TO go back to telegraphing to
support his family" :. s=.ss7

One Way to get rid Of Moths.

II carpets are badly infested they
should be- taken up and beaten and
swept thoroughly. Before relaying,
scrub the floor with hot water, getting
plenty of it in seams and crew
ices. Give the floor time to dry, and
then with a. feather or small brush
smear kerosene under the base-boards
and in the cracks. Place all around
the edges a strip of tarred paper, or
heavy paper soaked in melted tallow,
either of which will prevent the insects
from getting underneath the edges.

The Temperature of Dwelling
Rooms.

DR.. D. Benjamin of Camden, N. j.,
has made some observations regard
ing the subject of the varying tenn.
perature OF our dwelling rooms which
will be found of much practical i'm
portance.
Every one knows in general way
that the air OF rooms is colder near
the floor and near the windows, but
the very exact differences of temperar
ture as obtained by DR.. Benjamin are
very striking. For example, in a
room 10 feet high, 12 wide, and 20
long, with good stove and steady
fire the temperature in the centre was
found to be IS degrees E.; tour feet
it was 70 degrees; one foot from the
window 54 degrees, and at the wind dow
40 degrees. At the height of the head
the temperature was 70 degrees, at
the floor so degrees, a difference of 25
degrees. At the ceiling the tempera~
ture was 80 degrees, when the tenn
perature at the height OF the head was
0 degrees;
The fact that the tenn perature OF
dwelling rooms vary so widely ex-
plains, no doubt, the frequency with
which young children, and even adults
take colds in the house. 4 child sitting
on g. nurses lap in q temperature
OF 70 degrees gets down and plays on
the floor in a temperature 10 or more
degreeselower, or runs to the window,
a change OF 20 or 80 degrees. The
habit which ladies have OF wearing
slippers or light shoes in the house is
the cause OF many troubles, for these
same reasons.
The temperature of a room should
be about 10 degrees f. The hot fur
nace-heated houses OF our cities
cause a vast deal of nervous and res
piratory trouble. The thermometer
should be hung at about the height of
the PERSONS head, and, OF course, not
near the window or stove.

Pittsburg Times.
It already begins to be said that the
Interstate commerce law will be re-
pealed when Congress meets. There is
little prospect OF that. It will be
amended unquestionably. It's pro-
visions relating to free passes will have
to stand, and for the best of reasons.
When the bill was under coDsiderat ton
in the course Of the debate these rea-
sons were set forth with great, distinct
ness. President Adams, Of the Union
Pacific, told a. Congressional commit
tee that the pass transport alton on
his road would yield $7OO, 900 at, the
regular rates. 1t has been estimated
that the Pennsylvania road will gain
$500, 600 a year by withholding pass.
es. A Director of the st. Paul road
says his company will gain 5000, 600.
An officer Of the Burlington Com pany
asserts that 20 per cent. Of the ras.s
senger.transportation on his road has
been free, and believes thai 40 per
cent. 'of this free transportation will.
be retained at regular rates. II is

4 Chat About Oatmeal.

No one can live long in Scotch COM
munity without noticing the health
full look ofthe children, whose food
consists largely OF oatmeal, compared
with those fed on fine grains or even
groats, which are the same, only
without the husks. This chatf or
husk, however, which is left in the
meal, contains some points that act
as stimulant on the coats OF the
bowels to keep them active without
medicine and render this food of
great benefit to the dyspeptic. There
is no method of cooking oatmeal
equal to the making Of porridge, and
when properly prepared it is generally
g favorite dish for breakfast. "What
makes your oatmeal porridge so
good?" is q frequent question in
our house from strangers, and they
think the meal must he of superior
quality. But to prepare it properly
the water must be boiling, necessary
salt added, and the oatmeal then
stirred in slowly sitting it through the
fingers. The process must not be hur-
ried if Jumps would be avoided. When
it begins to boil up well stop stirring
and close the pot tightly. Set at the
back of the stove while you cook the
rest of the breakfast. Lift the por.
ridge without any more stirring, as it
is this that breaks the grain and
makes it waxy. The Scotch do not
stir it with g. spoon, but with a
smooth hattened stick called q "spur-
tie, that any one can make according
to their own idea. This gives more
evenness to the mixture, and If ifcooked
in this way the porridge will be sweet,
wholegrained and wholesome.

OF laughter that one unacquainted
with the state OF affairs could never
have dreamed that they were slaves.

assemble in the front yard. and after

Turpentine Farming.

Finding myself in the pine-regiou OF
southeast Georgia, and thinking that
some information on the subject
above named may not prove unin-
teresting to your readers, will en-
deavor to tell to them that which
has been impaired to me by those
thoroughly conversant with the whole
business
A turpentine-farm consists OF from
tive to forty crops of ten thousand
five hundred boxes each. The
work is sometimes carried on by the
owners OF pine-forests themselves;
again, the trees are eased out for ..
number OF years, two or three
being about the limit. Negro labor
is principally employed in TINS
section. The work commences in
November, when the boxing OF
the trees begins. The boxes, which
are cut sloplng back into the trees
about a. foot from the ground, meas
ure three inches back at bottom, four
deep, and about seventeen in length.
In March they are cornered; that is, &
chip is taken off on both sides Just
above the ends OF the boxes Next
the faces for dripping are cut V-shape
between and above the places chalked
The number OF faces on each tree de-
pends upon it's size, varying from one
to three. Besides the original cutting
on the faces, the trees are hacked once
a week during the dripping season with
a peculiarly shaped knife suited to
the purpose. The hacking increases
the length OF the faces, as one or two
inches OF bark are taken of above each
time.
The dipping OF the crude into bar
rels begins about the middle Of March,
and the boxes are emptied seven or
eight times during the season. They
hold from one to two quarts each,
and from 10000 boxes 2lO barrels
are considered fair, $50 a fine yield.
The first years dripping is called "vir-
gin," the second ''yearling,' and all
other "old stuff" From eight barrels
OF crude they get two OF spirits of tur-
pentine, and five to five and a half of
resin. OF the latter there are several
grades: W. w., "water-white;" VIC,
"window-glass;" NJ, next highest, and
SO on up the alphabet, but down in
quality, to A, the letter being omit
ted. The first drippings, if not scorch-
transparent resin; hence the name

this can never be obtained from the
trees after the first months running;

Chronic Diarrhes In = Horse.

j q +f +. - % -
Diarrhea is caused by chronic indi-
gestion or by various errors in feeding.
chiefly giving water too copiously aft
er feeding and before active work or
rapid driving. In the first case medl-
cine should be given to suit the case,
such as pint Of raw hnseed oil twice
q week, followed by one-dram doses,
each given daily for a. month, OF sui
phate of iron and powered Peruvian
bark. In the other case the cause is
to be avoided and water always CIV
en- Is minutes before feeding and not
Ter it. This mistake Of watering
horses soon after feeding Is often very
mischievous, and causes good deal
of trouble OF which the origin Is not
suspected. The food, not digested,
is washed out of the stomach into the
bowels, and on the movement OF these,
caused by work or by being driven on
the road, and softened wstery mat
ter is passed quickly out OF the intes-
tines. Medicine is obviously useless
in such a case.-N. Y. Times.
